outstanding, wonderful teacher and woman!! she is the reason i wanted to major in accounting. She teaches great, explains everything. Lots of patience with students. Tests can be tough if you dont study, but she is VERY good and fair.
Excellent, very helpful and very active in the class.
Great teacher, come to class and pay attention and you get a easy a in 211. 212 is a bit harder but her tests are pretty straightforward.
I hated this class. I def had to drop otherwise I would have failed. Takes attendance and def treats students like they are dumb she uses a very condescending tone in her voice. Do the homework because SHE WILL CALL ON YOU!
Hadn't taken accounting for over a year. She was very helpful in making sure I knew what was going on and understood everything. She is the Best
i have graduated college and i still remember her as the worst teacher i had over my college experience. she would call on you-and if you didnt know the answer she would treat you like the biggest idiot in the world. she is awful!!!!
If you love to be humiliated, take this class!!!

come to class and pay attention and you get a easy A. Not a boring teacher and she gives a ton of extra credit points. Tests are straightforward and pretty simple.
This wownen is an amazing teacher. The people who say she is bad, are only lazy and stupid. Just go to class and do the homework. I didn't even do the biggest project of the semester and still got a 99% in her class. For the Guys, she is nice to look at. I know because she is an old friends mom.
I love Professor Beatty! She is so nice and clear - she will help you if you ask for it! She gives a lot of extra credit and there is a lot of group work. She lets us out early sometimes too if our work is finished. She gives the option of not working in a group if that is what you prefer.
Professor Beatty covers more material than many. The material is covered in depth and she ensures the class understands the tough material before she moves on (e.g. bonds). If a student needs help, she is very happy to give it. She will call on you in class - be prepared by doing your work. I wish she would teach more advanced acct. classes.
Awesome teacher, she was a hottie for an Older Woman. Always talks about her sex life and such. Very helpful when it comes to grades and EXTRA credit like whoa. Loved the class because of her!
Shes hot for an older woman i guess. Shes a great teacher! she really makes classes interesting! Yea she picks on you for fun.... but its to make the class interesting! Im complaining.. she's really clear, concise and knowledgable. she gives out candy! I havent seen a bad side yet......
Her class was fantastic online. Although Accounting isn't the best class to take in the world (sorry!) she really did take the time to create a nice looking online account and she went out of her way to create Tables, and instructor notes for you know what you are doing. I've taken 2 online classes and her's is by far the best, the other one I had to drop because of how horrible it was.
class seemed hard until i transferred to md. she knew her subject matter, tests were easy if you knew the material.
Wonder teacher. Makes class fun and makes sure everyone understands the material before moving on. Exam are straight forward and alot of review. I was absolutely shocked to see anyone had negative comments about her. I'm hoping that shes teaching account 2 next semester so I can have her again!!
Awesome teacher! I loved her. She is always making class interesting and always makes sure you understand. She knows her accounting! I dropped accounting with a different professor and re-took it with Prof. Beatty and have an A. She is amazing and i wont take form anyone else!
She has a very backwards way of teaching and as a result our class was always behind. Her tests are hard and she gets very angry when people don't understand what she is doing. I had to drop her class.
The BEST Teacher ever, She made everything so simple and tried to make accounting as fun as it can be. I don't want to say it was easy even though it was for me other people had problems with it but they still got like a B in the class. Pretty easy grader and it is pretty hard not to a B if you do all the work. LOTS of Extra Credit
Awesome. Gives so many extra points
Overall, she was a pretty good teacher. She really tried hard to make the class easy to understand and enjoyable. I did enjoy and look forward to coming to class. She's very sweet, but I can see how someone would say she was mean, because sometimes you can see her trying so hard to be nice, that it almost seem like she's covering up her meanness.
One of the best teachers I have had. Nice and funny. Even brought bagels the class after an exam. The class overall is pretty easy, she makes sure you understand the material before she moves on which is really important. I loved her!!
AWESOME TEACHER. Easily the best teacher i've had since ive gotten to college. brought in cookies and stuff just randomly early on, gives out boatloads of extra cred, tries realllllyyyy hard to help u understand. funny and upbeat too. as long as you do the hw and study, tests shouldnt be hard. SERIOUSLY, TAKE NO OTHER ACCOUNTING TEACHER BUT HER!
Mrs. B is the best ever! She is very easy to get along with and extremely helpful. One of the best teachers that I have ever had. Oh yeah, might be a little dust on the bottle, it's one of those things gets sweeter with time! I love you Mrs. B
She gave so much extra credit. I got 35 bonus points just for not missing a class! She is very clear and makes class fun! She brought in food one day out of the blue. I would HIGHLY recommend her. I wish she was teaching the next class that I have to take.
Definitely take this teacher for accounting. It's the easiest way to learn the subject. Opportunities for extra credit, plus a make up hw day the last week of school. Very helpful in class, ask questions. Notes online. Cheat sheet allowed for the final which REALLY helped me out. Take this class for accounting I.
Secret to Success: Read and bring the Instructor's Notes provided in the course website to class as it will very well prepare you for the tests
She was awesome I wish I could find her teaching 212 (Accounting 2) If you are considering her then go for it b/c shes great. She goes over everything enough that it all makes sense and you can easily apply it all to the tests. On top of that she gives practice exams and practice HW all semester !
Professor Beatty Rocks! She gives you a million chances to get a good grade. Put a little effort in and it is very possible to get an A! This is a very hard subject and I researched all the acct teachers, She is the Best one at AACC!!!
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Hot! Pretty easy
Mandatory Attendance and Required Online Assignments were the only problems I had with Professor Beatty. She was incredibly kind and understanding, and was more than willing to help a student with any problem they may have. She lets you out early quite often if the class moves through the material. I highly recommend her and will take her again!
This professor was really good! She always helped when I needed it. Be sure to ask questions WHEN you are confused... otherwise you will be screwed throughout the semester because everything is like intertwined. She is really nice and make sure you do your homework! That will help you a lot!
Took class online. For any accounting class you have to do the practice problems to be successful. Prof. Beatty provided additional notes to clarify textbook items. She is extremely helpful and really wants to make sure you learn material. Tests can be tricky, so you have to know your stuff. Doesn't hurt that she is easy on the eyes. Great Prof!
Awesome. Good teaching skills, good amount of extra credit.
She was a good professor. There is some homework, but its not bad at all. Shes very nice and still looks good for her age. Recommended!!
Took the class in a 6 week session. She is extremely helpful and lecture is easy to follow. There is lots of practice problems before the test. No trick questions.
Awesome teacher... the best at AACC. You will do well if you prepare and make an effort to understand the material. Very helpful and clear and concise in her presentation of the material.
Very good professor. Strict with keeping up with the work and her deadlines but extremely clear and great in-class teaching. Gives extra credit if you attend all classes and will throw out test grades if you do better on the final... got an A in the class with a moderate amount of effort. Professor Beatty is very good.
I took it online. I am a dss student and prior to class starting I contacted her and she was very helpful. Once class started that all changed. Response to email was so slow, didn't give intrim grades. Everyone was failing so she curved, I got an A with tutors help , but I am NOT prepared for Acct. 2. And many classmates barely passed with D's.
She was very clear on what we were doing. The test reviews are basically the same as the test. And for those of you complaining that she was the reason you failed or barely passed, maybe you should've worked harder to comprehend the material that was basically put right in front of you. Also, She's very very easy on the eyes. ;) LOVED HER
Take her. I was totally afraid of taking accounting class before signed up her class. but way she was teaching in class was extremly clear and really helpful for me understand all materials. take her.
Dedicated to student success, tough subject, if you're responsible and do what is expected, you will do fine. Taking her next semester for the next class in the series.
such an easy accounting teacher ! made it so fun and easy! def. would recommend a class taught by her to anyone!
I'd recommend her accounting course to any student. She was very helpful and responsive with an excellent teaching style.
Prof. Beatty is great professor, she will help you until you get it. This is my second accouting class with her(I also took Accounting 1 with her) and I am glad I had her for both classes. This is not an easy class you actually have to put work into the class. Otherwise she is a great professor!
She is a nice professor. She is willing to help you out in any ways she can. All you need to do is to let her know you have problems. Her test is not very easy, but she will gives out practice exams. They are almost the same as the exams you will take. So read the instructor's notes and do the practice exams. Her teaching style is great.
online class, very nice and helpful teacher, beautiful and nice woman, just do the work on the schedule and you will do fine
Pretty straight forward class. Accounting is a tough subject and I was able to do better with her. She is a really exciting, social, and funny professor. Attractive woman for her later years. Very willing to help, pretty moderate homework assignments. Tests are tough though. Her teaching got kind of confusing too, just make sure you study.
she is a kind, knowledgeable professor. accounting is not an easy subject but she makes it as accessible and easy to understand as possible. extra credit points for attendance. willing to work with you outside of class. definitely makes the subject manageable.
Just the best!!!
awesome teacher, very willing to help and assist when necessary. i highly recommend this professor.
Time consuming, but very helpful. Generally a nice and funny person. Can come off as a bit particular until you get to know her. Perhaps her most valued trait is her consistent communication of expectations, due dates and class events to students. I get the vibe that she is a good and virtuous person. Bravo professor.
Took the small business accounting class with the hybrid style. So I am not sure if that is why it was such a bad experience. However, I went into the class knowing some of the Quickbooks program (which we use). But everything I learned was from teaching myself. Horrible at getting back to your emails. Gives zeros if you do not do something correct
Difficult class made easier by Professor Beatty's effort and thoroughness. Well-organized and explains the material in great detail. The tests are tough but the rest of the class can give you a cushion. She is a nice woman who wants you to do well if you work for it.
A very nice, great, understanding professor who takees the time out of her day and much time at that to help students. I struggled with starting the course and she sat with me in her office for hours to help me understand the program and the software and I am very grateful.
The class it self wasn't difficult. Follow the step by step instructions in the book and you'll be fine. However, if you do have questions, don't expect to have them answered in time to make a difference for anything. I placed several calls and emails to Prof Beatty and all went unanswered for at least 3 days, always past the deadline.
I really liked this professor. She is a no-nonsense professor but is very accessible and understanding for those who try and show effort. The class is difficult overall but she wants to help you work through the difficulty.
Excellent teacher and an easy A grade if you simply stay on task and do all of the assigned work. Good communication and will work with you if you run into problems.
my opinion is that this is a good professor. professor beatty is strict but fair. this was a tough course bit my opinion is that she taught it well.
I found Professor Beatty to be a knowledgeable, caring, and informed instructor. She is very passionate about teaching and really knows the material well. I was in a night section and she was willing to stay after class and answer questions.
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR. COURSE IS REALLY STRAIGHT-FORWARD AND EASY IF YOU DO THE WORK AHEAD OF TIME. LAID OUT VERY WELL, VERY GOOD FEEDBACK ON ASSIGNMENTS.
GREAT Teacher!
A+++++++
Professor Beatty definitely understands accounting and she does a great job of displaying that knowledge during her lectures. Gives more and more HW if majority of class doesn't complete previous one. She gives us exactly what is on the exams through notes and worksheets that we go over during class. Just do all the worksheets and take notes!
The biggest problem i had with this professor is her use of McGraw for our homework. Why is the due date for homework Saturday at 11 pm? Her lectures are useless if you don't read the textbook, but she doesn't bother reminding you to read, but expects you to read on your own. Her tests aren't too difficult, but the homework is infuriating.
Knows the material and textbook extremely well. Is always open for questions. Be ready to take notes!
STRICT GRADER ALERT
I love Prof. Beatty! She is very funny and makes class enjoyable. She is a tough grader, but only does it to make you a better "accountant." Very accessible outside of class. Beware of being randomly called on to answer questions as well as having 25 points off your final grade each time she sees you on phone! Overall a very sweet lady.
Beatty is an amazing professor. In class her lectures are very informative. She provides many detailed worksheets that can help you with the exams, and offers a ton of extra credit. Show up, do your work, and pay attention. You'll be gold, Just know accounting is a very picky subject and requires precision. Therefore her grading may feel hard.
Excessively strict grader and poor communicator.
Prof. Beatty is outstanding. I have seen a lot of rough reviews because she is a tough grader. If she is lenient on topics as precise and exact as accounting, being lenient in grading only hurts you. She does her best to make sure that everyone is on the same page and is always available for additional help and advice outside of class.
Terrible online professor, do not recommend unless you want to teach yourself and feel like your money and time is completely wasted. May be better in person. But has NO idea how to teach online! Her class is not straight forward like my other online courses and caused me to slack in my easier courses because hers required so much extra attention.
Zoom class was the worst part of my day. If you turn your camera off she kicks you out of the class and won't let you back in. If you're 3 min late she won't let you in until the end of class, so you miss the entire lecture. She uses MS Paint to write during lectures, and her handwriting is like chicken scratch. Also homework that wasn't taught.
Responds to emails a month late. Be ready to teach yourself everything. Also for online class office hours are participation and she does not tell you and you are graded for not going. Be ready to read everything and watch everything.
Directions were very unclear and overwhelming. Tough grader and I basically learned through the textbook. She wouldn't really respond to emails in a timely manner and I felt really overwhelmed. However, if you try your best and give it your all you can pass, but just know that you need to be driven to teach yourself and learn on your own.
Professor Beatty was extremely difficult. She was often condescending if you asked questions during lecture which made me not want to speak up if I did not understand. She was not very good at responding to emails which meant that I was often teaching myself the material which did not bode well for my grade. I would not recommend taking her class.
Believe her score. Condescending, patronizing singsong voice to all. Relies on son Jeb's materials but maybe hasn't read them. Emails do not answer questions, even with specific follow-up. Zero understanding of online platform. Doesn't take emails outside of 9-to-5, even for accelerated 8-week courses. Should only teach brick-and-mortar, if that.
I felt that Professor Beatty was a pleasant teacher and willing to help. If you have a question she was ready to answer and if that did not work she was always willing to schedule a remote session.
Professor Bev is a wonderful, funny teacher. You need to study, take notes and participate in her class. She is a flexible/understanding person. She sometimes provides notes if asked. She gives pointers/hints. Also she give practice opportunities (exams) and gives answers. Is willing to offer help in office hours. The lower ratings are incorrect.
Professor Bev is a nice professor. Make sure you take notes and study. She is willing to take the time to review the material. Lectures are jam packed with info. She uses word/whiteboard to make visuals. If your a visual learner her class is for you. She gives real life examples. Take her class if you want to learn accounting the right way!!!!
Awesome instructor Will definitely take more classes from this professor. Very knowledgeable and professional. highly recommend Professor Beatty if you are interested in the accounting file. She is kind and very knowledgeable of accounting procedures and the the realm of accounting..
Keeping in mind that a condensed, online course puts a lot of the learning in the students hands, Professor Beatty made sure to prepare the class with ample "Do's and Don't's" outlining common mistakes and how to avoid them. Her feedback was very detailed after each assignment which allowed me to review and learn from my mistakes. Great professor.
Very strong professor. One of the better professors in accounting at the college. I took this class with two other professors in the past two years and had to drop out both times. I was able to pass this class with a B. Thank you.
Fabulous
Very solid professor. She is probably the best online professor I have had at Anne Arundel and does a great job of using her class time to provide a great lecture. If you dont do the readings before class or are absent during the Zoom calls, you will regret it and she will make you look like a fool. Overall, great teacher and I would take her again
Professor Beatty is a great professor to be honest, and I truly thought I was the only one struggling in the course but when the Class exam means are 56% and 70% it started making more sense. The entire class was struggling because of how difficult the exams are.
